I took the past month off, so I do have a few fresh thoughts.... 
Not PM necessarily, but estrogen(s) perhaps? They store in adipose tissue. There's also a good chance your body's hormone production mechanisms have altered over your time with NBE.
Two weeks isn't so long, though. I've noticed it takes about that long before breast soreness goes away after stopping PM... twice now. And it takes a good 10 days back on before the soreness starts coming back.
I have felt that "bored or unhappy" funk you mention, before, on a break. It seems to subside about the time I notice other signs that testosterone is back. Then I feel invincible. So, it may be more physical fatigue than ennui, in that case. And it just seems to be that phase between PM on and off for me.
(My subjective experience, told in retrospective, of course....)
There's a lot wrapped up in hormones -- physical wellbeing, mental outlook, sex drive, etc -- and my holistic outlook says it's all intertwined.
It seems that in a world of go-for-broke transsexuals, there are only a handful of us, here on this very board, approaching this body hacking thing with a cautionary eye to overall health. It is my opinion that this can be done without wrecking the body's delicate-yet-resilient systems; perhaps it could even bring a benefit.
There's a long-term research opportunity here.
